Suspensions
down in
Durham
public schools
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The number of students suspend-
ed from Durham’s public schools hit a seven-year
low, with six per cent of the student population,
or 4,003 students, suspended last year.
The majority of the students were suspended
once for a total of 6,008 suspensions. This figure
is significantly lower than recent years, when
the suspension rate has hovered between 8.37
and 9.63 per cent, which was the 2006-2007 rate.
During that year there were 10,848 suspensions
handed out to 7,078 students.
The decrease can be attributed to changes in
the Province’s Safe Schools Act, which was in-
troduced in 2000, said Joe Hircock, the Durham
District School Board’s superintendent in charge
of safety and security.
The act took a tough approach and required
that suspensions be handed out for a long list
of actions. However, recent revisions to the act,
which were implemented in 2008, gave schools
more flexibility in trying alternative approaches
to suspensions and expulsions, which are also
known as exclusions.
“Schools were asked to investigate differ-
ent ways of dealing with behaviour,” said Mr.
Hircock.
This could include in-school suspensions,
time-out rooms and restorative practice, which is
based on First Nations traditions and aims not to
punish students, but to repair the harm done.
“Schools, staff, teachers, support staff, all of
our people ... are looking at alternatives to exclu-
sion and we feel that we’re starting to make an

DURHAM — At some point this week, the
vast majority of Durham homeowners will
reach into their mailboxes and pull out the
value of their homes.
Monday, Nov. 3, the Municipal Property
Assessment Corporation mailed out as-
sessment notices to Durham homeowners.
Those values, when multiplied by the mu-
nicipal tax rate, determine how much is to
be paid in property taxes.
Property value assessments were last
done by MPAC in 2005 and this round will
state values that “reflect what the property
would have sold for in January 2008,” said
Kathy Blake of MPAC.
New this year will be a four-year phase-
in for any increase in assessments. That
means, if a house value increases by 20 per
cent, the assessment value will increase by
five per cent each year over the next four.
Value decreases will be implemented im-
mediately, Ms. Blake said.
In Durham, it appears average property
assessments, including residential, com-
mercial, office buildings and farmland, have
gone up 15.4 per cent, Durham finance di-
rector Jim Clapp said recently. Homes will
go up almost 14 per cent, on average.
The averages vary by municipality, said
Ms. Blake. Specific information, by munici-
pality and ward are expected to be available
early this week.
According to Mr. Clapp, a home valued at
$280,000 in the last assessment, completed
in 2005, will rise to $318,288, based on the
13.7 per cent average residential assessment
increase.
But while it could seem like an increased
assessment could result in a higher tax bill,
that’s not necessarily the case, Clarington’s
finance director, Nancy Taylor, said.
“The assessment issue does not affect
people’s tax burden, unless their change is
different from the average,” she said.
That’s because, when the total assessment
goes up for the municipality, the tax rate is
reduced so the net amount collected is the
same, to compensate, since municipalities
only collect what they anticipate needing.
“It’s really important to read those assess-
ment notices,” she said. “Now’s the time to
get it fixed.”
That’s true, said Ms. Blake. Requests for
reconsideration of the assessed value must
be made by March 31.
MPAC is providing new options for hom-
eowners to get an idea of how accurate their
assessment is this time around. For example,
a new section of the corporation’s website
called AboutMyProperty will allow residents
to use a user identity and password, found
on the assessment notice, to compare their
property with similar homes in the area.
Should a resident determine their assess-
ment is not accurate, the appeals process
can be triggered.
Last time an assessment was done, in 2005,
MPAC mailed 4.6 million notices across On-
tario and 116,000 individuals filed requests
for reconsideration (RFR) with MPAC. Ap-
proximately 50 per cent of the RFR reviews
resulted in an adjustment, Ms. Blake said.
Information on how to contact MPAC
should be easily found at the very top of the
notice, Ms. Blake said, and contacting MPAC
is the first step toward requesting reconsid-
eration. Those requests can be completed by
requesting a form or writing a letter. Appeals
can also be filed with an assessment review
board. Property owners have 90 days after
MPAC notifies them of its decision on their
RFR to appeal. If the property owner still
doesn’t agree, there’s yet another appeals
process available after that.
There is a great deal of information avail-
able on MPAC’s website at www.mpac.ca.
“If individuals have questions or don’t
agree (with their property assessment), we
are approachable,” Ms. Blake said.
How did they come up
with that number?
MPAC considers a number of factors when
determining how much a property should
be valued at, said Kathy Blake, Municipal
Relations Representative with the corpora-
tion.
Location is the big one. Then, lot size is
considered as is the square footage of the
house, That’s measured slightly differently
from how it is for real estate purposes, Ms.
Blake said. “We use the footprint,” she said,
noting that way, “every home is measured
the same way.” Age of the home and quality
of construction are also considered.
Other features considered include: num-
ber of bathrooms; whether there are fire-
places; whether the basement is finished;
garages; pools, traffic patterns; being situ-
ated on a corner lot; and proximity to certain
things, like a golf course, railway or greens-
pace.
“The new updated assessment reflects
what the property would have sold for in
January 2008,” Ms. Blake said.

AJAX — Assessment notices are in the
mail and for most Ajax property owners the
news is good.
In Durham Region, the average assess-
ment increase is 15.4 per cent. But, in Ajax,
the average assessment increase is 13.4 per
cent.
Speaking to Ajax council last week, Joe
Regina of the Municipal Property Assess-
ment Corporation said a four-year assess-
ment cycle replaces the annual cycle.
The last assessment was in 2005, said
Kathy Blake of MPAC.
For this reassessment, the value of a
house on Jan. 1, 2008 is being used, she
said.
A decrease in assessment will be done all
at once, while an increase would be phased
in over four years, she said.
For homes not yet built, MPAC will still
use the Jan. 1, 2008 date.
“It will reflect the most probable value at
Jan. 1, 2008,” Mr. Regina said.
Reassessment is “revenue neutral,” mean-
ing increases in assessments will be offset
by decreases, said Rob Ford, the Town’s
finance director.
The assessment value of a house is multi-
plied by the tax rate (formerly the mill rate),
set annually by the municipality to calcu-
late the amount of property tax.
If a person’s assessment “increased
slightly above the increase, their taxes will
go up,” said Rob Ford, the Town’s finance
director.
“People don’t understand assessment
and how it impacts their taxes,” Wards 3 and
4 Regional Councillor Colleen Jordan said.
Mr. Ford said taxes don’t go up by the
same percentage as the assessment increas-
es.
Another change is the appeal process,
Ms. Blake said.
“The onus is on MPAC to prove the as-
sessment is accurate. In the past, the onus
was on the homeowner,” she said.
Assessment notices also include the per-
centage increase for a person’s home, as
well as the percentage change for proper-
ties in the immediate area.
“If the percentage increases, they’ll likely
see an increase in their property base.”
MPAC is holding an open house on Nov.
12 from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Ajax town hall.
“I appreciate the changes you made. It is
confusing to the taxpayer,” Mayor Steve Par-
ish said.

PICKERING — Pickering residents are
finding out this week just what their proper-
ties are worth.
“I got mine,” Mayor Dave Ryan said in an
interview. “Mine went up.”
The Municipal Property Assessment Cor-
poration (MPAC) has sent out the first prop-
erty assessments since 2005. The average
assessment increase in Durham Region is
15.4 per cent and Pickering’s is 14.5 per cent.
That’s a 12.3 per-cent increase in Pickering’s
residential assessments, said Mayor Ryan.
New this year is the four-year phase-in
and the value of a house on Jan. 1, 2008 is
being used for the reassessment.
Those whose properties have increased
in value will pay it over four years and a
decrease in assessment would be done all at
once.
But Mayor Ryan said the practice of re-
assessment is nothing new. In fact, it has
happened six times now since the market
value assessment system was introduced in
1998 before a three-year freeze took place.
It’s important to note that the increase in as-
sessment does not mean property taxes will
go up by the same amount, he said.
“A 10-per cent increase (in property value
assessment) does not mean a 10-per cent
increase in your taxes,” he said.
So, for Pickering, the property assessment
increase is “neither a good nor a bad thing.
It’s an indication on where you fit in the
value base where taxes are calculated.”
But he said if the increase is less than the
average, residents could pay less taxes next
year, and if it’s more than the average, they
could pay more.
New to this year’s assessment is the ap-
peal process.
Kathy Blake of MPAC said in a press re-
lease that when assessing 4.7 million prop-
erties across Ontario, it’s possible to make a
mistake.
“If a property taxpayer believes an error
has been made and that his or her property
would not have sold for its assessed value on
Jan. 1, 2008, we want them to call us or visit
our Durham office,” she said.
“We’ll explain how we arrived at the as-
sessment and, if it’s wrong, we’ll fix it.”
Mayor Ryan said although there is no set
plan for an open house in Pickering, if the
City finds a lot of people are confused about
their assessments or the process, Pickering
will arrange with MPAC to provide some
help.

Fundraiser honours
Durham cops
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Given the choice be-
tween being singled out for recog-
nition by a roomful of colleagues
and community members and
running into a burning building,
Bradley Browne would likely opt
for the burning building.
The Durham Region police
constable was among those rec-
ognized Thursday night when the
annual Police Appreciation Dinner
and Awards Night, a fundraiser or-
ganized by community volunteers,
was held in Ajax. Const. Browne
was recognized for the bravery he
displayed when he rushed into a
burning Oshawa rooming house
last November, helping several
people to safety.
When cornered by the media
the modest Const. Browne insisted
he’s no more worthy of recogni-
tion than any of the other 800-plus
Durham cops who don their uni-
forms and do their job each and
every day.
“I’m really humbled by it all,” he
said, standing outside an ornate
ballroom at the Deer Creek golf
and banquet facility.
“There were people in danger
and they needed help; that’s why I
acted,” Const. Browne said.
“I think anybody would have
done the same thing.”
The sixth annual awards night
once again highlighted valour,
dedication and professionalism
on the part of Durham’s Finest.
Awards also went to:
• Const. Andrew Tummonds,
whose dogged work on a missing
person report led to the discovery
of the suicidal woman in a hotel
in Peel Region. She was taken to
hospital, where she was provided
with care and counselling for de-
pression.
• Const. Ron Crouch, who fol-
lowed up on concerns raised about
an elderly couple who were being
taken advantage of by relatives.
Working with the public trustee’s
office, Const. Crouch ensured the
couple, in their 80s, were protect-
ed financially and properly cared
for.
• Members of Durham’s Drug
Enforcement Unit, who conducted
two complex operations -- Proj-
ect Lynx and Project Merlin. Lynx
resulted in more than 30 arrests
and the seizure of drugs valued
at $6 million, including a massive
marijuana crop in north Durham
worth $4 million. Merlin tapped
into a smuggling operation that
saw cocaine loaded onto commer-
cial flights from the Dominican
Republic to Toronto; more than
$3 million in cocaine was seized,
along with 12 firearms, and 250
charges were laid against 13 peo-
ple, including a member of the
Hells Angels and a baggage han-
dler at Pearson airport.
• Members of the Nuclear Safety
Division, whose operations in-
cluded a large-scale training ex-
ercise last April that simulated a
terror attack on a nuclear facility.
• Sergeant Tom Hart, whose 25
years of volunteer service included
working with Big Brothers. In 1983
Sgt. Hart was matched with an
11-year-old boy who eventually
became a police officer and now
serves with Durham police.
• Rookie Constable Josh Con-
ner, who followed his instincts in
investigating two suspicious men
in November 2007.
The men fled and were tracked
down by cops, who charged them
in connection with a violent home-
invasion robbery.
Funds raised by the Apprecia-
tion Night support a number of
police initiatives and programs.

Senior
slightly hurt
in purse
snatching
AJAX — Investigators are seek-
ing help in identifying a thug who
knocked down a senior during a
purse-snatching last Thursday in
Ajax.
The 76-year-old victim sus-
tained minor injuries to her hip
and head during the daytime in-
cident, which occurred on Clover
Ridge Drive Oct. 30. The woman
told Durham police she was walk-
ing home from the Clover Ridge
Plaza when a man wearing a black-
hooded sweatshirt ran up from be-
hind her and grabbed her purse.
The suspect was last seen flee-
ing east on Clover Ridge Drive.
Investigators are asking for wit-
nesses or anyone else with infor-
mation to call 905-579-1520, ext.
2565 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-
222-8477.

impact,” said Mr. Hircock.
He also brought figures to the
board’s standing committee meet-
ing on Monday showing 83 per cent
of students said they strongly agree
or agree that they feel safe when
they’re at school and 85 per cent
say they feel safe on their way to
school.
In addition to hearing the statis-
tics on suspensions, the committee
heard a presentation on restorative
practice at Monday’s meeting.
Mel Barkwill, the board’s safe
schools officer, said the concept is
catching on around the world.
In Durham’s schools, the prac-
tice was introduced just over a year
ago and Mr. Hircock said educators
have embraced it. There’s a high
demand for training sessions on
the technique.
Bruce Schenk, director of the In-
ternational Institute for Restorative
Practices in Canada, is advising
Durham’s public school board.
“I learned very early on that
someone doesn’t change until they
understand the impact of their ac-
tions on other people,” said Mr.
Schenk, adding that kids learn how
to fix things when they start dealing
with things restoratively.
It also improves communication
in the school overall.
Mr. Schenk, who worked with
the Kawartha Pine Ridge District
School Board to bring the practice
to all of that board’s schools, said
kids were more likely to speak up
about problems after restorative
practice was introduced.
“They realize it’s not about get-
ting into trouble, it’s about trying to
fix things,” he said.
Scugog Trustee Joyce Kelly, who
along with student trustee Joselyn
DeJong recently observed the re-
storative process, said she found
the process to be both fair and
firm.

OSHAWA — They were recalled almost
two years ago, but tainted chocolate bars
have resurfaced in the loot bags of Oshawa
trick-or-treaters.
Oshawa resident Rachel Greystock was
surprised to find large-sized Hershey’s choc-
olate bars as she sorted through her kid’s
Halloween candy Friday night.
“We found it odd that it wasn’t the small
treat size and my husband and I both want-
ed to check it out first, knowing that there
was a recall,” said the mother of three.
When Mrs. Greystock saw the recalled
product numbers on TV Monday morning,
she was shocked.
“I couldn’t believe someone would do it
and basically ruin Halloween.”
Some 40,000 recalled chocolate bars were
stolen from the Turtle Island recycling depot
in late 2006 and the bars started turning up
on the shelves of small, independent conve-
nience stores in 2007.
Mrs. Greystock’s children were each given
a Hershey’s Creamy Milk Chocolate bar
with the product number 6425. The recalled
chocolates range from 6417 to 6455 and in-
clude more than just Hershey’s. Oh Henry!
bars, Reese peanut butter cups, Hershey’s
dark chocolate almond bars, chocolate
chips, dark and milk chocolate bars, Glos-
ettes, Eat-More bars and Cherry Blossoms
were all recalled in November 2006 after
salmonella was found in the soy lecithin, an
emulsifier, used to make the candy.
Mrs. Greystock’s seven-year-old son Tyler
said he was excited at first about getting the
big chocolate bar.
“When I got home I wanted to eat them,
but I didn’t because I was afraid they did
have poison.” The Greystock family trick-or-
treated around their neighbourhood. They
live close to Waverly Public School. Mrs.
Greystock alerted school officials about the
tainted chocolate first thing Monday and
Waverly principal David Brownson is tak-
ing every precaution. “We’ll send home a
memo and I’ll put it on a hot colour so that
the parents can’t miss it in their bags,” said
Mr. Brownson. “It is a serious thing and we
don’t want any of our children to get ill.”
Mrs. Greystock also contacted the Region-
al health department and was told someone
will be coming to pick up the chocolate.
So far the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency has no confirmed cases of illness
from people eating these products.
Eating salmonella-contaminated food can
cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and
other flu-like symptoms. For young children
and elderly people, the bacteria can some-
times be deadly.

Trick-or-treaters given tainted chocolate
DURHAM — Local public health inspectors
have found chocolate bars recalled in 2006 for
suspected Salmonella contamination on the
shelves of three Oshawa stores.
Public health inspectors from the Region of
Durham found the candy at Convenience and
Family Cleaners at 1204 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa
Discount Centre at 458 Simcoe St. S. and One
Stop Shopping Convenience at 3-30 Park Rd. N.
Inspectors will continue to inspect other stores
in Durham to ensure the candy is not on store
shelves.
Hershey’s originally recalled the products in
2006 for suspected Salmonella contamination.
However, someone stole 40,000 chocolate bars
from a recycling depot and the chocolate bars
started surfacing in independent convenience
stores in 2007. The recall does not involve any
Hershey’s Halloween products. Halloween
products are customarily packaged as small,
bite-sized candy. “Although we’ve been told that
no Halloween-packaged candy is affected by
this recall, we’re encouraging parents to check
their children’s Halloween candy for any of the
larger chocolate bars or candy that could be
involved in this recall,” said Ken Gorman, direc-
tor of environmental health for the Region, in a
press release.

Drop fees on
monthly GO passes
To the editor:
What is really the point of putting so
much money into a failing transporta-
tion system if you don’t have the rider-
ship needed to sustain such improve-
ments?
Sure GO trains now have power out-
lets for your laptop, televisions and
I am guessing in no time might even
have wireless Internet, but when it
costs $250 for a monthly train pass
from Oshawa to Toronto, many people
are still saying why bother?
With gas prices so high wouldn’t this
be the perfect time for the government
to do something drastic to increase the
number of commuters that use public
transit?
Why can’t we make a monthly pass
$100? People would be stupid not to
use it then. Our environment needs
this.
And why not make those people who
do still drive pay for the difference by
using some of the gas tax to pay for it or
put tolls on the highways during rush
hour.
We need a way to save our environ-
ment and to get more people out of
their cars and on the trains!
This would clean up existing pollu-
tion and cut down on our gas usage.

Hard to see how the
opposition parties won
this federal election
To the editor:
Tragically, the 2008 vote became a
battle of arts funding and not a vibrant
discussion about the economy, our
mission in Afghanistan or any other
issue of substance.
Margaret Atwood, please take a bow
and go write another book somewhere,
preferably in Kandahar or North Korea.
As for the Liberals, Stephane Dion
and his green shift? Exit stage left
seems appropriate.
Congratulations must certainly be
offered to Jack Layton and his com-
rades for capturing the economic illit-
erate vote. Good for you Jack! Today
you can ride up front on the NDP short
bus.
Only in Canada can the leaders of
the Greens, Liberals, NDP and the
Bloc stand before the electorate and
proudly claim victory after yet another
Conservative minority government.
Surely, we all suffer when all the los-
ing political parties claim victory after
they have lost. Much like declaring a
football team the winner for just cover-
ing the Las Vegas spread.
All this fumbling is very dishearten-
ing.

Columnist shows
Liberal bent
To the editor:
Crystal Crimi’s column, ‘Short cam-
paign could have hurt, but maybe it
helped’, (News Advertiser, Friday, Oct.
17) clearly displayed her Liberal bias.
“I think I’ve only actually heard one
or two people, at most, say they don’t
like him (Holland),” writes Crimi.
“On the other hand, I’ve heard more
less-than-pleasant things about Mr.
Johnson, but that’s neither here nor
there.”
Crimi must have been hanging out in
the Holland campaign office, as I heard
lots of negative things about Mr. Hol-
land.
In the end “that’s neither here nor
there,” so why defame Mr. Johnson in
print? And where does she get the idea
that Holland will pick up more votes in
the next election?
Johnson closed the gap by 5,400 votes
and was trending up at the end.
A four per cent gain is all that it will
take to see Holland seeking his old
municipal set.

Extra cash
can fill local
void
W hat would you do with $56
million?
That’s a question your region-
al and municipal councillors will hap-
pily be forced to grapple with over the
next decade as they get that amount
added to Durham Region coffers.
The cash comes as the result of the
Province of Ontario’s decision to take
back the responsibility for funding
such issues as welfare, benefits and
court security and prisoner transporta-
tion costs. Premier Dalton McGuinty’s
move to upload such costs reverses
a decision made in the mid-1990s by
the Mike Harris Progressive Conserva-
tives to download such bills onto local
municipalities.
When the full transfer of all costs
is made back to the Province from
municipalities, it will result in a sav-
ings of $1.5 billion per year collectively
to Ontario’s municipalities. Durham’s
portion of that amount will total $56
million.
The changes year by year over the
next decade will be incremental. But
after a decade of downloading and
belt-tightening, the chance to get some
money back will surely come as some
relief.
How to use those newfound millions?
There will be a long list of politicians
and department heads who will have
their own pressing needs that must be
met.
And many taxpayers will want a
break, or at least some relief on the
increases to their property taxes.
Given the long and gradual phase-in
of the uploading to the Province, local
politicians will have plenty of time to
figure out what to do with the money.
No doubt the deteriorating condition
of infrastructure, especially roads, will
eat up much of the money. There will
probably be some three-way infra-
structure projects announced in fed-
eral budgets over the next decade that
will mean a one-third cash injection
from Durham. Some of the uploading
windfall could be used for that pur-
pose.
The key thing is to spend the money
wisely, After all, there was much gloom
and doom talk and wringing of hands
when provincial downloading took
place in the mid-1990s. Now that the
pendulum has swung back the other
way, municipal politicians should
prove to us they knew better all along
how to spend our tax dollars.
This Week
How should the Region of Durham
spend the $56 million it will save over
10 years now that some services have
been uploaded by the Province?
Provide property owners a tax cut
Increase infrastructure spending
Boost spending on services like police

Faizah Ilyas did most of her
schooling in the Middle East
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — There was no music in the
Middle Eastern school Faizah Ilyas attend-
ed until she was 12.
So, when she crossed the world to Cana-
da in 2002 and was introduced to playing an
instrument in schools here, the change was
welcomed.
“There was no music at all so that was
one thing after I came here that I really en-
joyed,” said Faizah, born in India but raised
primarily in the Middle Eastern country of
Saudi Arabia.
Her parents came to Canada with hopes
of a better life, particularly for her now 12-
year-old brother, Hisham Mohammad. He’s
a paraplegic and they knew Canada could
provide him with better accessibility for a
more fulfilling life. In the Middle East, the
school he attended wanted him to wait so
they could build a special class instead of
putting him in with everyone else.
“I started school the day before Hallow-
een, I remember that,” Faizah said. “I think
the classrooms were basically the same
here. I stepped in and the teacher asked me
to introduce myself.”
In the Middle East, whenever the teacher
or principal walked in, students stood up
out of respect, something she continued
to do until the teacher asked her why. She
hadn’t realized none of the other students
did.
While much of her subjects were the
same in the Middle East, teaching tech-
niques were different. They also celebrated
all cultural events, including Christmas
and Ramadan. Classes were bigger and all
grades attended one school - hers being an
all-girls school.
Although Faizah was old enough to have
already established a strong learning foun-
dation by the time her family came to Can-
ada, her brother found it hard to adjust to
teaching techniques here.
Hisham found English and comprehen-
sion difficult. He was used to memorizing
rather than analyzing. Being in a split Grade
2/3 class didn’t help – he became confused
about who was being taught.
Faizah, on the other hand, got the hang of
things quickly.
By the time she graduated high school,
she tied with another student for high-
est average in the Durham District School
Board, 2008, with 97.33 per cent.
“Because I knew English, I felt very com-
fortable,” she said. “It was a benefit for me.”
In high school, she had friends who
couldn’t speak English and it was hard for
them.
They had to learn their subjects and
English-as-a-second-language at the same
time. “It’s a double thing, really hard,” she
said.
Faizah suggested schools take a year just
to teach new students English before en-
rolling them in regular classes. The student
will lose the year, but they won’t have to
struggle with the language barrier after-
wards, she said. In high school, some new
immigrants also have to work to help sup-
port their family.
“It’s too many things to do at once,” she
said.
If parents don’t get jobs right away, it’s
more stressful because of the insecurity.
“For me, personally, my parents were a
big source of help,” said Faizah.
Although it took her dad eight months to
find work, her parents kept their stresses
from their kids.
“I think our parents really supported us a
lot so they didn’t let it affect us much,” she
said.
For new students, she suggests they make
the best of the situation.
“You’re here now,” Faizah said.
Take the first step forward in making
friends, even if you’re shy, she said.
“Try the new experience and see what
you enjoy,” she said. “You’re coming from
another country so there’s things to teach
and share.”
You never know what you can learn from
someone new or what you can teach them.
And, if you can’t speak English, ask for
help. “The teachers are very supportive,”
she said.
They can also find support at the public
library.
“Support the kids and encourage them to
try new things,” she advised parents.
Help them out, try to learn about the ser-
vices available for them and try to learn the
language here as well, she added.
Faizah now attends McMaster University
with financial support from a Millennium
National Scholarship, worth $5,000 for each
of her four years. McMaster provided her an
additional $3,000 entrance bursary for two
years.
In this three-part series we take a look
at new students and how they’ve adjusted
to school life in Canada.
Finding footing
in a new world
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — If newcomers are a little lost
when they first arrive in Canada, they’re not
alone.
That’s why the Community Development
Council of Durham has various programs to
provide help. For students, in particular, there’s
a new Host Youth Program.
“I do think there’s a lot of stress,” said Tracey
Vaughan, executive director, Community De-
velopment Council of Durham.
“There’s the loss of family, the loss of home
and friends, and starting all over again,” she
said.
It can help to have someone to tell new
students about school rules in their mother
tongue, she said. Through the Host Youth Pro-
gram, which serves those 14 to 22 years old,
students are paired with a pal who may help
with homework, common speech and slang,
and adjusting to Canadian life.
Even in countries where English is spoken,
there are still many differences the student may
face in Canada. When Ms. Vaughan came here
from England in the 1980s, she wanted to be-
come Canadian as quickly as possible. She was
in Grade 3 at the time.
In England, students wore uniforms and
lunch was served – it was very organized and
strict, she said. Her mother dressed her formally
even though other people weren’t dressed in
the same manner.
Behaviour in class, recess – even understand-
ing math can be different. In England, they did
short division, in Canada, it was long. It can be
hard to adapt, she said.
“It’s adjustments on both parts,” she said
– mostly for students, but also for teachers.
Some people aren’t familiar with the open-
ness of the system here, which can affect their
assessments, even though they’re bright, she
said.
Make sure there’s a safety net in place, Ms.
Vaughan said. See if the school has a tutor avail-
able and contact outside agencies to see what
they offer.
“There are a lot of addition programs avail-
able, it’s just knowing they exist,” Ms. Vaughan
said. “So making sure you ask a lot of ques-
tions.”
Other services the council offers include im-
migrant settlement and adaptation programs.
Trained counsellors work with settlers on a
variety of issues, including getting licenses and
finding jobs.

Faizah Ilyas, a Whitby resident and graduate of Oshawa O’Neill CVI student, found it easy to adapt
to Canada’s education system. She’s especially enjoyed the music programs offered here.

NOTIFICATION FOR EXCAVATION ACTIVITY TO LOCATE EXISTING
UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Contract No. T-08-60
Utility and Infrastructure Location Investigation for Sewer Design in the City of Pickering and the
Town of Markham
What’s Happening:During the next few weeks, test pits and trenches will be excavated to confirm the soil
conditions and the exact location of buried utilities. These investigations will be conducted in the City of
Pickering along Finch Avenue (between Valley Farm Road and Liverpool Road), along Liverpool Road
(between Finch Avenue and the Hydro corridor to the north), along the Hydro corridor (between Liverpool
Road and the Scarborough-Pickering Townline), and along the Scarborough-Pickering Townline and
Markham-Pickering Townline (between the Hydro corridor and 14
th Avenue). This work will also take place
in the Town of Markham along 14
th Avenue and 9
th Avenue and Rouge Bank Drive. These locations are along
the proposed route for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer. Buried utilities include phone lines, electrical
cables, gas lines, local watermains, storm and sanitary sewers.
Why:In order to prepare for the planned start of construction of the new Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer in
2010, the precise locations and depth of all utilities located within the alignment of the new Southeast
Collector Trunk Sewer must be identified.
How long will this take:The activities to locate utilities will continue for approximately two months, and any
one location should be impacted for a maximum of four to five days at one time. The excavated areas will be
immediately rehabilitated and repaired once the location of the utility is recorded. Final restoration of the
roads and boulevards will be completed in spring 2009, as per road construction requirements.
Who is planning this work:The Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer Project is being planned by the Regional
Municipalities of Durham and York.
Please Note:Short-term lane restrictions along Finch Avenue between Valley Farm Road and Liverpool Road
are anticipated between November 17 and January 16. While every effort will be made by the contractor to
maintain access to residences and businesses, temporary delays in traffic may be experienced. York and
Durham Regions would like to thank residents and business owners for your patience while this work is
underway.

Vampires and fairies help clean up Pickering
PICKERING — St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Catholic School student Nicholas Zaichuk, at left, races through the school yard with a huge garbage bag. The kids at the school were taking part in a commu-
nity clean up dressed in their best Halloween costumes. At right, Vivian Szklanko and Grace Pano did their part while they were all dressed up.
PICKERING — Everyone in-
volved in Communities in Bloom
should be proud of their help in
making Pickering a great commu-
nity in which to live, work and play,
says Mayor Dave Ryan, co-chair-
man of the Communities in Bloom
Advisory Committee.
“Our community spirit contin-
ues to blossom,” he said at a Coun-
cil meeting Monday.
Pickering residents and business
owners who received top marks
from the Communities in Bloom
judges were recognized by Mayor
Ryan, Council and the City of
Pickering.
And, for the second straight
year, the City itself received the
highest recognition, Five Blooms,
at the competition that recognizes
communities for their civic pride,
environmental responsibility and
beautification.
“We thank you from the bot-
tom of our hearts,” said Ward 2
Regional Councillor Bill McLean,
also co-chairman of the advisory
committee. The competition has
been taking place since 1995 and,
although Pickering only began
participating last year, it received
top marks both times. This year
the City also received the Land-
scaped Areas Reward and a special
mention for its youth programs.
After receiving more than 100
entries, the judges gave Five Bloom
awards to: David Arathoon; David
Bibb – Hy-Hope Farm Market;
Lewis Bradshaw; Ida Carlucci; Tina
Crosthwaite; Mary Dawson; Anita
Fisher; Alex Galambus; Joni Gill-

PICKERING — Police are seeking
the public’s assistance as they at-
tempt to locate a Pickering woman
reported missing Sunday.
Durham cops were contacted
by family members who became
concerned when they couldn’t
locate Monica Tierra of Wilcroft
Court. The 40-year-old Phillipine
woman is not familiar with her
surroundings and it’s unusual for
her not to maintain contact with
her family, police said. Ms. Tierra
is 5-feet-4 with a medium build
and long straight black hair that’s
often worn in a ponytail. She may
be wearing a blue coat and car-
rying a black purse. Anyone with
information is asked to call police
at 905-579-1520, ext. 2529.

toast or after using the shower. These are called
nuisance alarms.
Solutions include relocating the smoke alarm or
installing a smoke alarm with a “hush” feature.
The Ontario Fire Code requires that every home have
a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all
sleeping areas. It is against the law to disable a smoke
alarm.
For homeowners, tenants and individual landlords,

Seized notes reveal
desire for peace
By Jeff Mitchell
jmitchell@durhamregion.com
WHITBY — Business
comes before blood feuds in
the world of biker gangs, an
expert witness has testified
at the trial of two Hells An-
gels.
Referring to documents
seized in police raids of bik-
ers’ homes and clubhouses,
Sergeant Kenneth Davis, a
member of the provincial
Biker Enforcement Unit, said
the Hells Angels counselled
peace over conflict in deal-
ing with rival groups such as
the notorious Bandidos.
The notes, taken at various
meetings and introduced at
the trial of two Hells Angels
members accused of con-
spiring to commit murder,
reflect a desire among bikers
to avoid attracting attention
by engaging in open conflict
with other gangs, Sgt. Davis
said.
“They’d seen what hap-
pened in Quebec with the
wars that happened there
and the results of those wars,”
said the witness, referring to
a bloody spate of incidents
between the Angels and the
insurgent Rock Machine.
“It’s not good for business.
“It’s much like a cold war,”
Sgt. Davis said. “Everyone’s
at the ready but nobody’s
taking massive action.”
The notes entered into
evidence show the Angels
in Ontario were wary of two
groups -- the Bandidos and
the Outlaws. Bandidos are ri-
vals of the Hells Angels while
the Angels were attempting
to court the Outlaws, jurors
heard.
In one set of minutes it’s
noted, “No one wants to be
friends with the Bandidos,
but we’re not going to start
anything.”
In reference to the Out-
laws, members are advised
they shouldn’t party with
their rivals or visit Outlaws
clubhouses, but Angels may
“shake hands if you like.”
This detente reflects an
uneasiness among rival
criminal organizations and
a desire not to attract police
attention with overt violence,
Sgt. Davis said.
“They know an open war is
bad for everybody,” he said.
The testimony came in the
trial of Mark Stephenson of
Sunderland and Remond
Akleh of Cobourg.
The men have pleaded not
guilty to conspiracy to com-
mit murder and counselling
to commit murder in what
the Crown alleges was a plot
to assassinate a rival.
The trial, presided over by
Superior Court Justice Bruce
Glass, continues Nov. 12.

Biker wars ‘bad for business’: Witness
Trustee says family
life in northern
parts of Durham
can be ‘dictated
by school bus’
By Crystal Crimi
ccrimi@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Equal isn’t nec-
essarily fair when it comes to
busing, prompting trustees to
undertake a review.
The Durham District School
Board is establishing an ad hoc
committee to review the board’s
existing transportation policy,
following a motion to modify it
brought forth by Uxbridge Trust-
ee Joe Allin.
His numerous proposed
changes would enhance service
for rural students.
“Rural students certainly do
face obstacles not all students
face so it’s not fair to treat them
the same,” said Oshawa Trustee
Kathleen Hopper.
Although Trustee Allin sup-
ports the current transportation
policy, which underwent a sig-
nificant review more than two
years ago, it’s worth tweaking, he
said.
“Indeed, family life can be dic-
tated by a school bus,” Trustee
Allin said, while talking about
differences in busing in rural
communities.
“Finally, there’s not an issue
around that I spend more time
on than student transportation,”
Trustee Allin said.
His recommendations include
extending transportation ser-
vices to the residences of sepa-
rated parents who live within
the designated school bound-
ary, provided the alternative ad-
dress is on a consistent five-day
week; provide transportation
to a licensed child-care service
listed on the Durham Region So-
cial Services directory located
within the French Immersion at-
tendance areas associated with
the school; and extending trans-
portation services to elementary
school-aged siblings of children
required to go more than eight
kilometres to attend elementary
programs in French Immersion
or special education, where per-
mission is granted.
“I am not without sympathy or
empathy to some of these chal-
lenges people in rural communi-
ties face,” said Pickering Trustee
Sherry Croteau. Some Claremont
parents would share the same
concerns, she added.
“I also like the idea of time
limits on a bus, I know that’s an
expensive thing to say,” Trustee
Croteau said, adding an hour’s
ride is a long time.
Trustee Allin doesn’t want to
attach a time on bus rides, but
thinks it would be interesting to
see a report on them, he said.
Trustee Croteau was open to
seeing the motion tabled or sent
to an ad hoc committee because
of its far-reaching measures.
Trustee Hopper said she re-
quired more information.
“There’s some interesting
points and I do agree with some
of the comments,” Whitby Trust-
ee John Dolstra said, but added
he has some concerns too, prob-
ably because more information
needs to be brought forward.
Space on buses is one of the
issues with transportation policy
changes, especially at dual track
schools, said Mark Joel, super-
intendent of transportation, in
response to a question.

Restaurants recognized
for providing healthy
substitutions, more grains,
vegetables and fruit
DURHAM — Almost 60 local restaurants
and school and workplace cafeterias were
awarded with 2008 Eat Smart! Awards re-
cently by Durham Region Council.
“It’s encouraging to see the number of
food establishments throughout the Region
that are participating in the Eat Smart! Pro-
gram,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s Medi-
cal Officer of Health. “This demonstrates
that local restaurants and food establish-
ments are committed to providing healthy
alternatives to the community and are striv-
ing to promote healthy living.”
The Eat Smart! Award is recognized
throughout Ontario and is awarded to estab-
lishments providing more options in grain
products, vegetables and fruits, and entrees
and deserts with less fat. Customers can also
ask for healthy substitutions, such as order-
ing milk or 100-per cent juice, with a child’s
meal instead of soft drinks or ordering a
salad as an alternative to fries.
The food safety aspect of the program
requires restaurants to show compliance
with Ontario’s Food Premises Regulations
and have at least one staff member per shift
certified in safe food handling. It’s also re-
quired that an establishment receiving an
Eat Smart! Award must follow the Smoke-
Free Ontario Act. The Eat Smart! Program
is co-ordinated by Durham Region Health
Department with a goal to reduce chronic
diseases such as heart disease, diabetes,
and some forms of cancer, as well as illness
caused by poor food handling. To view a

Sewerage Servicing in the City of Pickering
Class Environmental Assessment
NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION
WORKS DEPARTMENT November 5, 2008 PUBLIC NOTICE
The Regional Municipality of Durham has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to
determine the preferred water and sanitary servicing strategies for the Duffi n Heights Neighbourhood in the City of Pickering.

by the C.P. Rail, to the east by the municipal boundary with the Town of Ajax, to the south by the hydro transmission tower line,
and to the west by the West Duffi n Creek, as shown below.
The preferred water servicing strategy is constructing a Zone 2 Water Booster Station within the study area. The preferred
sanitary servicing alternative is constructing a Sewage Pumping Station on the easterly side of Brock Road with a sanitary
sewage forcemain along Dersan Street discharging into the planned Central Duffi n Trunk Sanitary Sewer.
Subject to comments received as a result of this notice and receipt of necessary approvals from relevant authorities, the
Region of Durham intends to proceed with the design and construction of the necessary facilities identifi ed in this study.

Arthur Smith looks through Metrolinx’s The Big Move brochure. Metrolinx held a public forum at
the Heydenshore Pavilion recently. Metrolinx is a proposal by the Ontario government to link and
improve transportation in southern Ontario.
By Reka Szekely
rszekely@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The Metrolinx team,
including chairman Rob MacIsaac,
stopped by Whitby’s Heydenshore
Pavilion on Tuesday in one of seven
public consultation events on the Big
Move, the draft regional transporta-
tion plan for the Greater Toronto and
Hamilton area.
Although Metrolinx staff said some
of the public meetings in other mu-
nicipalities drew 100 or 150 people,
only about 40 people attended the
event in Durham. That included visi-
tors from other municipalities and
employees of Durham Region and its
municipalities. Only about a dozen
seemed to be Durham citizens out to
give their input.
In roundtable discussions, par-
ticipants were asked what they liked
about the plan, what they didn’t like
and what they saw as the highest
transit priority in the GTA and Ham-
ilton. Ajax resident and local transit
blogger David Harrison said while
he hasn’t digested the whole plan,
among the aspects he liked was the
emphasis on regional express GO
service and on long-distance routes
not going to downtown Toronto.
“The GO train is our subway here
except we don’t have subway-like fre-
quency,” he said. However, he raised
concerns about the fact that a con-
versation over funding the plan is not
happening.
So far, $11.5 billion of the neces-
sary $50 billion is funded through
commitments from the Province.
Metrolinx is looking for another $6
billion from the federal government,
in which case the plan will be funded
through 2018. Metrolinx plans to look
at revenue options in 2013.
Mary Sutherland, a member of
the Durham Accessibility Advisory
Committee, said she didn’t see much
focus on accessibility in the informa-
tion released so far.
It was important that the system
be accessible in practice, not just in
theory, she said.
“You would be surprised how often
I come across an accessible door
and I press the button and the door
doesn’t open, nothing happens,” she
said. She also pointed out that many
wheelchair accessible buses can’t ac-
commodate scooters because they’re
larger. Mr. MacIsaac told her that the
plan was to be universally accessible
and also said one of the goals of the
plan is to have region-wide special-
ized service. Of the eight spokes in
the Metrolinx plan, the participants
on Tuesday ranked a fast, frequent
and expanded regional transit net-
work as their number-one priority,
followed by a complete walking and
cycling plan and an investment strat-
egy to provide stable and predictable
funding. Following the event, Mr. Ma-
cIsaac responded to criticism from
Durham Regional Chairman Roger
Anderson, who has said there’s not
enough in the plan for Durham.
“We could never have enough
money to put all of the infrastructure
in that all of the municipalities from
the region would like to see,” he said.
For example, Mr. Anderson has
called for a transit corridor along
Hwy. 407 extension in Durham. But
Mr. MacIsaac said sophisticated com-
puter modelling shows the ridership
may not be there.
As to the treatment of the 407 ex-
tension in general, which is listed as
under study in the 15-year portion
of the plan, Mr. MacIsaac said he
expects there will be amendments to
how the highway is represented in the
Metrolinx documents.
“We had no intention of saying the
extension of the 407 shouldn’t pro-
ceed under our plan,” he said.
The final report will be presented
to the Metrolinx board in late Novem-
ber.

Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — This just in: a hyp-
ocritical politician has been trying
to impose a severely puritanical law
while hiding his own corrupt back-
ground.
Sound familiar? Although this
was a bit of fake news (in Canada,
anyway), cynical cliches about poli-
ticians persistently permeate the
news, creating the perfect timing for
the Herongate Barn Theatre’s latest
production, a British farce satirizing
politics called, ‘Pardon Me Prime
Minister’.
Politicians can’t be trusted, espe-
cially in this play, which finds the
prime minister cozying up to young
girls, lying
to his wife, and more - all while
insisting that new “moral” taxes be
imposed on everything from gam-
bling to alcohol.
Pickering’s Herongate Barn The-
atre does more than serve up great
comedy, there’s dinner too, and co-
owner and director Ann Ward looks
forward to providing a full evening
of entertainment to the audience.
“It really is a great way to spend
an evening; it’s affordable and you
can enjoy a delicious, home-cooked
meal while having a laugh,” she
said.
Ward is particularly pleased with
‘Pardon Me Prime Minister’, as it
presents a lighter side of comedy,
which she finds rewarding to direct.
“It’s a traditional British farce, so
there is a lot of activity on stage and
people going in and out of doors,”
she said. “Great to direct, and even
more fun to watch.”
Veteran actor Paul Francies,
a member of the Herongate Barn
Theatre group, agrees with Ward’s
enthusiasm for the play, saying,
“You get to do crazy things with
farce, which I love! Plus, everyone
can relate to this play; we know poli-
ticians are always doing something
stupid,” he said, laughing.
Interactivity between the actors
and the audience is encouraged
right from the start, as the cast mem-
bers join the audience for dinner
prior to the performance. Francies
also likes to speak with the crowd
after the show to get feedback, say-
ing that helps them put on the best
performance possible.
“People are wonderfully honest,
which is a really great thing,” he
said.
“They will tell you what they liked
and what they didn’t enjoy as much,
which helps us because we are al-
ways striving for more.”
The relationship between the
audience and the stage is key to
making the play work, but also to
ensuring that the audience has a
great time. Though complex, for
Francies, achieving this connection
to the crowd is the best part.
“It’s a wonderful challenge to find
that balance between what you do
on stage and what people see,” he
said. “The goal is to connect to the
audience; that is the ultimate thrill
and there is nothing better than
hearing applause and laughter.”
‘Pardon Me Prime Minister’
runs at Herongate, 2885 Altona Rd.
(between Taunton and Whitevale
roads), Nov. 7 to Dec. 31.

DURHAM — Move from inspi-
ration to a finished manuscript
without a problem.
The Writer’s Circle of Durham
Region (WCDR) is offering ad-
vice on how to do so at its break-
fast meeting on Saturday, Nov. 8.
The meeting features Elizabeth
Ruth, an award-winning novelist
who is the Oshawa Public Li-
brary’s new writer-in-residence.
Ruth will describe the process
of writing a novel and how to
avoid the roadblocks along the
way.
She will also explain the ad-
vantage of consulting a writer-in-
residence to touch up a manu-
script in order to catch the eye of
an editor or agent.
Ruth is well known in the writ-
er’s circle.
Her debut novel, ‘Ten Good
Seconds of Silence’, was awarded
one of Now Magazine’s top 10
books of 2001 and was also short-
listed for three literary awards.
Ruth’s second novel, ‘Smoke’,
was set in the 1950s in a fictional
tobacco-growing community. It
was selected as one of the top 10
books of the year by NOW Maga-
zine, The London Free Press and
The Vancouver Sun.
She just recently completed
her third novel.
The Writer’s Circle of Durham
Region meets monthly for break-
fast and an opportunity for expe-
rienced and aspiring writers to
gather and connect.
Meetings run from 8:30 a.m. to
11 at the J.P. Fitzpatrick and Son
restaurant in the Whitby Enter-
tainment Centrum, 75 Consum-
ers Dr., west of Thickson Road,

Ajax author examines a century of Les Canadiens
D’Arcy Jenish takes
a chronological look
at the Habs’ history
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — Ajax author D’Arcy Jen-
ish wasn’t interested in providing
yet another glorious tome celebrat-
ing ‘Les Glorieux’, a.k.a. the Mon-
treal Canadiens, the most storied
franchise in the National Hockey
League.
Rather, Jenish was inspired to
provide a more well-rounded, bal-
anced account of the peaks and
valleys that sports teams invariably
go through in their histories.
And, as he found out over four
years of research for his new book,
‘The Montreal Canadiens 100 Years
of Glory’, Les Habitants were no ex-
ception.
“Almost all the writing about the
Canadiens focuses on great play-
ers, championship teams and the
hall of famers. I wanted to write
about something more compre-
hensive,” said Jenish of his newest
book, released recently. “If you just
focus on the grandeur, it’s been
done repeatedly and ultimately
gets tedious.
“This was just a good story and
I had always liked the Canadiens. I
knew it was great story. A lot hadn’t
been done and a lot hadn’t been
said about them. There were a lot
of books written about the Cana-
diens, especially in English Cana-
da. Certainly, nobody had done a
chronological study of them from
what I call the moment of concep-
tion, Nov. 25, 1909 in the lobby of
the Windsor Hotel, we’ll have a
French team and we’ll call it les
Canadiens.”
Although there’s more than
enough of the grand history of
the Canadiens within the book’s
311 pages, Jenish also ensured the
overabundance of achievements
was balanced with the not-so glo-
rious over the past 100 years.
“It’s good and bad and I wanted
to show both. When you show the
bad, the good is that much more
interesting,” he said.
Jenish recounts the loneliness
and stress surrounding Guy Laf-
leur’s hall of fame Canadiens’ ca-
reer. The Montreal chapter of his
career ended ingloriously, howev-
er, with his sad 1984 press confer-
ence proclamation: “I am happy
it is all over. My nightmare is fin-
ished.”
The idea for the book , said Jen-
ish, manifested itself in the most
mundane of ways.
“I was walking down the street
one day in the summer of 04. The
previous book was finished in the
summer of 03, so you’re always

Canadiens’ history book
lands on best seller’s lists
Ajax author Darcy Jenish says the feedback he re-
ceived after his book ‘The Montreal Canadiens 100 Years
of Glory’ has been more than he could have expected.
“I sent Bob (Gainey) a box of books as soon as they
arrived and his first e-mail to me was ‘your book is hot
here’,” he said.
“The (Montreal Canadiens) organization is happy
with it as far as I understand. Everyone who has read
the book likes it and, with respect to Montreal, they love
it. That was the big test -- it could have died right there.”
Moreover, the book has landed on the best seller’s
lists of the Globe and Mail and Maclean’s Magazine.
“It’s a huge thrill. There’s nothing like seeing your
book on the best seller’s list. I’ve always dreamed about
getting there.”
Jenish is no stranger to writing books about hockey.
His first foray into the sport came with his history of the
Stanley Cup chronicled in ‘The Stanley Cup: A Hundred
Years of Hockey at its Best’.
He says he’s got two more hockey books in mind,
one of which he’s eager to begin.
“One idea that I have will be interesting and exciting,
but it could generate some controversy,” he allowed.
In the interim, Jenish will make appearances at two
Chapters stores in Ajax and Oshawa. He’ll appear at the
Oshawa location on Sunday, Nov. 17 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
and at the Ajax location on the same day, from 3 to 5
p.m.
looking for your next book...for some reason 09-10
popped into my head. The Canadiens were going to be
100. I took the idea to my publisher and they liked it. It
was that simple.”
The historic anniversary of the 23-time Stanley Cup
champs provided a nice hook; it also didn’t hurt that
Jenish was an unabashed fan of the Canadiens growing
up in Saskatchewan, although he admits to not follow-
ing any team in particular in recent history.
“They were my team as a kid, dating back to the end
of the Original Six. They had great teams in the ’60s. I
suffered through the Leafs. It seemed like Toronto beat
Montreal every year and I remember having tears in
my eyes and hating Johnny Bower with a passion. The
Canadiens pounded him with shots and couldn’t score.
In May of 1965 I still remember sitting there, a Saturday
night, watching the seventh game between Montreal
and Chicago. I stayed in to watch the game and Mon-
treal jumped into a 4-0 lead, so the game was over early
and it was a relaxing evening. That was the end of that
ordeal for me when they won that cup.”
Jenish took a different tact in his exhaustive research
for the book. Instead of focusing solely on the English
newspapers’ account of stories affecting the Canadiens,
he also concentrated his efforts on the French press,
which ultimately led to a greater breadth of material.
“When you cross the linguistic divide you get some
very good material,” he said. “You can certainly capture
the passions that the team generated far more clearly
by reading the French records. The French newspapers,
in general, were far more unrestrained and far more
emotional in their response to victories and losses and
major events in the team’s history.”
One of the unique stories that made the rounds in its
day concerned hall of fame goaltender George Vezina,
‘The Chicoutimi Cucumber’, who played for the Cana-
dians from 1913 to 1925. A quiet man, newspapermen
of the day wrote he had 22 children, including three
sets of triplets. Often repeated and never refuted by
‘The Silent Habitant’ it took on a life of its own. During
research, however, Jenish could only find reference to
Vezina having two sons.
While much of Jenish’s research came from news-
paper accounts, he also had unprecedented access
to players, current and former, along with the current
team executive through his long-time association with
hall of famer and current Canadiens’ general manager
Bob Gainey. Jenish attended high school and played
hockey with Gainey in Peterborough.
“He was very open, honest and generous with me,”
said Jenish of Gainey, who also wrote the introduction
for the book.

Howard rink
three-peats
at Prairie
Classic in
Manitoba
To date, defending
Ontario champs
have won three in
a row to start the
curling season
By Jim Easson
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX — To say the defending
Ontario champion Glenn How-
ard rink is on an early-season roll
would be an understatement.
The Howard team, with Pick-
ering’s Richard Hart at vice, is
red hot after chalking up its third
straight championship, this time
winning the 2008 Meyers Norris
Penny Prairie Classic in Portage,
Manitoba from Oct. 24 to 27.
Along with the front end of
Brent Laing, and Craig Savill,
the Howard rink has won this
event in the past two years, and
hoped to keep the streak alive. In
the triple knock-out playdown,
the team gave up two lives, and
another loss would have side-
lined them, but they persevered
through draw ‘C’, qualified, and
then won the event again Mon-
day evening.
The total purse for the running
was $58,000 with $18,000 going to
the Howard team.
Next on the calendar for Team
Howard is a trip to Brooks, Al-
berta, from Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 for
the Cactus Pheasant Classic. The
event features 24 teams of World
Class Curlers in a triple-knockout
draw playing for a share of the
$70,000 purse with $22,000 slated
for the winner.
•••
Annandale had two junior
teams in the Ontario Junior
Curling Tour (OJCT) again last
weekend. Michael Bryson, James
McPherson, Sandy Martin and
Josh Hall, with coach Susannah
Moylan, were runner-ups in the
4th Event of the London Junior
Cash Spiel on Oct. 24 to Oct. 26.
They qualified after the 24-team
playdowns, and won their 4th
Event semifinal, but lost the 4th
Event final game at the St. Thom-
Cougars lose to eventual champs

Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School’s Laura Johnson looks to take the ball from Huntsville’s Blythe Ogston in This
Week Classic senior girls’ basketball final action at Austin in Whitby. Huntsville defeated the host Wildcats 35-30.
Huntsville defeats
Notre Dame on way to
This Week Classic title
By Brian McNair
bmcnair@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — The final of the Os-
hawa-Whitby This Week Classic had
quite the familiar feel to it.
The host Austin Wildcats and the
Huntsville Hoyas renewed what has
become a long-standing rivalry in
Saturday’s championship game,
with the visitors taking a 35-30 de-
cision to win the senior girls’ bas-
ketball tournament at Father Leo J.
Austin Catholic Secondary School.
Although he couldn’t say just how
many times the two teams have
hooked up in previous tournament
finals, nor who has had the edge in
wins and losses, Huntsville coach
George Hoo said he enjoys making
the annual trek as a tune-up to the
playoffs.
“We love being down here,” he
said. “It’s always a good tournament,
always good teams.”

Pickering’s Ayesha Rumble second in senior girls’ 5K event
✦ Pickering’s from page 17
koka Parry Sound league action,
certainly had its hands full against
local Durham competition on the
weekend, edging out Whitby’s Sin-
clair Celtics 51-50 in the opener and
Ajax’s Notre Dame Cougars 40-38 in
the semifinals.
The Hoyas took control of the
championship game early in the
third quarter, building a 19-17 half-
time lead into a 30-17 advantage
before staving off a late Austin rally.
“I have 11 players that can all
play, I’ve got a lot of scorers,” Hoo
said in explaining his team’s suc-
cess. “There’s no star player, they
can just all play and that’s hard to
defend.”
Rosa Baccellieri, coach of the
Wildcats, was pleased with the play
of her team even in defeat. They
had beaten I.E. Weldon of Lindsay
35-10 in the opener and St. Theresa
of Midland 66-49 in the semifinals.
“I’m ecstatic,” she said at the tour-
nament’s conclusion. “Even though
we lost, that was the best game de-
fensively we’ve played. They played
as a team. There was lots of energy,
lots of hustle. They really stepped it
up. I’m very happy because we’ve
been a little bit timid, a little bit shy
on offence and on defence. But the
energy was back.”
That should bode well for the
playoffs, she hopes, as the LOSSA
loop appears to be fairly open this
season. With the quarterfinals set
for this week, Notre Dame is the
favourite, but many other teams are
capable of challenging, Baccellieri
says.
“No one’s thinking it’s going to be
one team for sure,” she said. “Notre
Dame would be the favourites.
They haven’t lost in league. But us,
Sinclair, Pickering, Dunbarton and
Pine Ridge, all of those teams on
any given day are in the mix.”
Notre Dame entered the Classic
tournament as defending cham-
pion and a favourite to repeat, but
came up just short against Hunts-
ville. The Cougars went on to finish
third with a convincing win over St.
Theresa.
Sinclair regrouped after its heart-
breaking loss in the opener to win
the consolation championship with
wins of 53-42 over Midland and 54-
35 over Weldon. Kelsey Hare, with
22 points, and Katelynn McConnell,
with 20, led the Celtics attack in the
final.
Chloe Levy was the top Austin
shooter in the championship final
with 15.
Notre Dame favoured in LOSSA quarterfinal action
✦ Notre from page 17 ‘No one’s thinking it’s going to be one team for sure. Notre
Dame would be the favourites. They haven’t lost in league. But
us, Sinclair, Pickering, Dunbarton and Pine Ridge, all of those
teams on any given day are in the mix.’

Annandale Youth
Bonspiel on Saturday
as Curling Club. Last season, the
Tim March Annandale team won
the event, but are now too old to
compete in the junior tour.
•••
Also in the London Junior Cash
Spiel, Sharon Pyne was substitute
coach for Jennifer McGhee, the
coach for the team of Lesley Pyne,
Stacey Hogan, Suzanne Miller and
Katie Hickey. The team curled at
the Highland Country Club and
won the 3rd Event semifinal and
lost the 3rd Event final to the visit-
ing Swiss junior ladies’ team when
Lesley’s last shot to tie in the 10th
end came up a little short.
The next OJCT event is in Kitch-
ener-Waterloo from Oct. 31 to Nov.
2 for The Home Hardware Junior
Curling Classic.
•••
Fast approaching is the Annan-
dale Youth Bonspiel slated for Nov.
8, followed by the Junior Ontario
Curling Association Zone play-
downs at the Whitby Curling Club
from Nov. 22 to 25.
•••
Annandale held a curling clinic
at the club last Saturday. The be-
ginners clinic had 32 participants
and the advanced clinic had 26.
The cost was $15 per person for
each clinic. Coffee and muffins
were provided in the morning for
the beginners clinic and coffee and
cookies in the afternoon for the
advanced.
The instructors found lots of en-
thusiasm with the new curlers in
the beginners clinic. Most of them
got to put their teachings to the test
the next night at the first Sunday
night Mixed League game of the
season.
The advanced clinic brought out
some great strategy discussions.
Convener Beth Potter thanked lead
instructor Joan O’Leary. Other in-
structors for the day included John
and Sandra Thain, Rob McMulkin,
Brian Woods, Pierre Joly, Ollie Wil-
liams, John Smith, Dave Edgel, Ar-
thur McCrorie, Leonard Franssen,
Corey Mackey, Rick Walker, and
a student helper for the day, Jake
McGhee.
